When it comes to education promises, teachers and students have learned that Scott’s word means very little. In 2013, Scott promised a $2,500 raise to teachers but many saw only a fraction of that money. In 2011, Rick Scott signed into law a bill punishing teachers that made high-stakes testing even more central in Florida’s schools — something he now claims to be against. Additionally, his promised $10,000 college degree never came to fruition.

The Tampa Bay Times was right when they wrote that Scott “deserves an F on public education.” The Republican Party of Florida has done their best to dismantle public education, all the while offering misleading rhetoric to the contrary. As we saw today, nothing has changed.
